Later, the admission letters of Xu Shifan and Xu Yuqing, brother and sister, also arrived. As expected, Luo Qiao was not disappointed. Both of them were admitted to Peking University, one to study accounting and the other to study finance.
As expected by Luo Qiao, after her aunt knew where they lived, her grandmother and father went there twice, probably hoping to get some benefits. However, there was nothing in the yard, only a few pots and pans in the kitchen, and bedding for the two siblings in the house. It was extremely shabby.
Maybe she felt that she couldn't gain anything from it, so she never came again. After this incident, the relationship between them and their aunt became somewhat distant.
Their aunt came to explain to them that she did not intentionally tell their address to that place, but Xu Shifan and Xu Yuqing did not believe what she said at all.
Before school started, her aunt didn't come, so they had some peace and quiet. After that, they just came here to clean up when they had nothing to do, and they still lived in Luo Qiao's two-story courtyard.
After school started, someone happened to be renting a house, so the yard was rented to an out-of-town family who came to school with their children. Two side rooms were reserved in the yard for the Xu siblings to deal with the Xu family. The situation was also told to the family who rented the house, asking them to help provide cover.
Time passed day by day. Luo Qiao was helping her grandmother string peppers in the yard. These were picked by her grandfather from the field in the woods. Since they couldn't finish eating them, he strung them up with thread and prepared to hang them under the eaves to dry.
I heard some noise at the gate, and when I looked up, I saw Lu Yichen coming over with a lot of tender corn and pomegranates in the back of his car. After he came in, he smiled and said, "Grandma, I came to see you."
Zhou Guifang didn't stop moving her hands: "Look, I'm fake, what are you going to give that girl again?"
Lu Yichen said, "Grandma, please stop teasing me. I went to the countryside to handle a case today. I saw someone harvesting pomegranates in their yard, so I bought some from them. Do you like them?"
When Luo Qiao saw that the pomegranate was quite large, she thought of the soft-seeded pomegranates of later generations. She also saw that there were still some peppers left to be stringed. Luo Qiao was too lazy to wash her hands twice, so she decided to just finish her work before eating.
Lu Yichen glanced at the peppers on the ground and walked over: "Go wash your hands and eat the pomegranates, I'll help you string the peppers."
Luo Qiao stopped him with her elbow: "That's all we have left. Don't get involved. Grandma and I will be done stringing in a little while. Do you know how to hold a needle? Why are you messing up?"
He put the bowl on the table and then covered it with the mosquito and fly protection cover that Luo Qiao had made herself with gauze. He originally wanted to feed Luo Qiao a bite, but seeing that her grandmother was there, he felt embarrassed to do so.
Seeing that there were really not many peppers left on the ground, I took down the corn cobs from the back of the car, peeled them skillfully, and prepared to cook them later.
Zhou Guifang did not stop him. She was used to it now. During this period, Lu Yichen would come home to show his courtesy to his granddaughter whenever he had nothing to do. Seeing his grandchildren's angry and helpless looks, she wanted to laugh.
Who told them that except Siyuan who can cook, the other three have basically never been to the kitchen? Now they have met a strong rival. Whenever Lu Yichen comes, he will not let Luo Qiao enter the kitchen, and they can only stare and watch.
Then after Lu Yichen left, the brothers went into the kitchen to learn how to cook, but none of them had the talent, so they had to give up.
But it made her and the old man very amused.
Luo Qiao asked, "At this time, there are still tender corns?"
Lu Yichen was peeling corn husks in his hands: "It was also luck. When I was about to come back, I met an acquaintance and stopped there to talk for a few words. Not long after, I heard someone shouting.
As a result, the cows raised by the villagers ran out and trampled down a field of corn. I heard from them that the small piece of land was used to store bricks that were brought back for building houses, and after the land was cleared, some corn was planted.
I saw that it was quite tender, so I bought some. Don’t you like to eat tender corn? And it’s a good opportunity to help my fellow villagers reduce their losses.”
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Oh my god, the timing is so bad, hahaha! Good night, my little cuties! (End of this chapter)
